Peace Needs a Prince

We feel
Such offense when
We look upon hatred
And its deadly applications,
Evil
That keeps
Peace just a dream
We come to see what works
And we judge those who seek to play
War games.

But when 
Hurt by someone
Personally, those friends
That you have cared about, helped and 
Defend
Because
You felt perhaps
They were misunderstood
And one fine day, they turn on you
And use
The steps
You took for them, 
Against you, in a logic
Of their own, that respects not
Your gift
Shaken 
By the feeling
Of betrayal even
When you know, a gift is given
Freely
The pain
Cuts deep, tearing
The heart apart, bleeding
And your hopes for peace strongly
Lessens.

You find
That the conflicts
In our world has taken
Wider proportion, peace further 
At bay.
Until
The sun comes out
Clears the clouds in your heart
Restoring faith, hope and the love
Inside.

Please God
The only one
Who can show us the way
To peace is your son whom many
Await.

Dear Caroline, I know how it feels to experience betrayal from those you trusted. The pseudo-friends have surfaced too often. It's hard to know whom we can trust. Putting your life in God's hands is the only option sometimes. Just know that I will never betray you. You've been a wonderful friend to me and I appreciate all you've done to offer comfort in times of need. It doesn't appear there is much that can be done to help me now aside from prayer. Perhaps I'll try to call you. Love, CD
